Transportation

You may probably think it should be a land cruiser to go everywhere because of bad condition roads. If so, you are just 50% right. Common vehicles could run on some of the roads, say for instance, Lhasa to the airport, to Tsedang, to Nakchu. Only to those far away from Lhasa land cruisers will be used for the smooth passing. In this way and having this understanding, you may save part of your money to Tibet. Of course, you may use land cruisers for all your trip in Tibet despite of the expensive cost.

As far as land cruisers are concerned, there are a few kinds or classifications in terms of per mile price and comfort. Here below is the lists of variety of land cruisers which you may use while you are ready to tour in Tibet.

1. TOYOTA 60 or TOYOTA 62: Safe, four wheel drive, and cheaper but

no A/C or a little bit bumpy

This kind of land cruiser is commonly used by tourists if you

do not mind its a little uncomfortness. It was manufactured by

Japan years ago but very popular in Tibet by those who want to

save money but challenge themselves.
